Table REF  shows AST results on four English to Non-English (en-xx) directions from CoVoST 2 by following the identical setting in baseline methods [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, [4]}. To make a fair comparision, at the second stage in the gradual fine-tuning, we fine-tune the model only with the single language pair. Our models outperform the previous best method SpeechLM [4]} with up to \(+1.1\)  BLEU points and Mu\(^{2}\) SLAM-char still pefroms slightly betetr than Mu\(^{2}\) SLAM-spm on en-xx.
